AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Highway to Hell by AC/DC Song Info

"Highway to Hell" is a song by the hard rock band AC/DC. It is the opening track of the group's 1979 album Highway to Hell and the twelfth track on AC/DC Live. The song was written by Bon Scott, Angus Young and Malcolm Young while the main guitar riff was created by Malcolm Young. The track has become one of the most famous songs in rock history. AC/DC had made several studio albums before and was constantly supporting them by going on a grueling tour schedule. The song and album's title supposedly came after a reporter asked bandmembers if they could describe what life was like being constantly on tour. Angus replied that it was "a fucking highway to Hell"[citation needed], and the name stuck. He stated in the magazine "Guitar World" that when you are out on the road on a bus sleeping with a guy's smelly sock in your face, it's like you're on the highway to hell. Rumours persisted that the band members were satanists, and this comment, and the album cover depicting Angus with devil horns and tail only added fuel to the fire. (The band has denied having anything to do with Satanism, Malcolm having even commented that "me mum would kill me for that!") Nevertheless, this and other songs brought AC/DC its first million-copy-selling album, and sent Highway to Hell to #17 on the charts. Scott would be found dead in the back of a friend's car just over six months later. The success of the Highway to Hell song and album set AC/DC on track to record its most famous album and tribute to Bon, Back In Black, one year later. The song "Highway to Hell" is part of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.[1] The single was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales in excess of 500,000.

- It's About Time!

Do you all know how long I wanted my favorite band to be available on iTunes? Do you know how many hours it took my to get all of the album artwork of the internet and put them on each song? It was awful! I still love these guys though. Best rock band ever!

- YES !!!!

All i can say is "its about time' Thanks guys !!!!!

- A true AC/DC compilation

Awesome compilation of one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time! Now all the youngsters can truly see the history of this band back to Bon Scott and it's large library of great songs even long before Black in Black. And hopefully a new generation will be turned on to them as this is truly timeless classic rock and roll.

- Dirty Deeds...done dirt cheap!

If ya , got a lady and ya want her gone. but you aint got the guts. she keeps nagin at ya night and day.. enough to drive ya nuts. fella.pick up the phone, leave her alone. it's time you made a stand. for a fee, im happy to be, you're back door man... the single most greatest day on itunes. AC/DC get in NOW before they are all sold out guys.!!!!!

- Well its about time...

I waited so long to purchase the AC/DC catalogue on iTunes, sadly for apple i finally broke down and purchased the entire collection on CD. I guess they miss out on their percentage of the sales... Then again i could have gotten the cd's used and then AC/DC wouldn't have gotten their share but i didn't want to be petty.

- ac/dc the complete collection

yes! finally! best band ever! love the complete collection for what you get its worth the money ,its great to hear some Bon tracks that i hadn't heard before ,AWSOME!!!!

- 5 stars isn't enough

The greatest of all time !!! 12 million stars !

- Plain & Simple

Honestly, is there a greater day in iTunes history?.......I have to say emphatically, HELL NO.

- FINALLY

Greatest Band EVER!!! I already own all of these but I am getting ready to jack up my IPOD with $150.00 worth of pure balls to the wall rock the way it was meant to be.

- Finally!

You have no idea how long I have been waiting....needing all these songs! Yeah! Thank you soooooo much!

- It's about time!!!!!!

The greatest rock band of all time is finally on iTunes…took long enough!!!!!

- Who Made Who (12" extended mix)

Pretty awesome Dude!....all the big hits here & then some.... I am totally stoked with "Who made Who" (12" extended mix)..One of my most favorites from AC/DC in an extended version. For sure worth the 1.29 to me. Rock-n-Roll baby :)

- ACDC is Awesome!!!!

Thank You! I consider it my own personal Christmas present.

- Back In Black is...

simply the best heavy metal album ever recorded.

- Finally here!!!!!

Been waiting years for this day. Time to rock and roll baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

- AC/DC

# 1 Rock, The Best Band of Planet world

- Good move, guys! It's about time!!!

Huge money will be made with this decision, guys! So glad to finally have the masters on iTunes!

- Stand alone amazing greatness.

What can be said that hasn't already been said about AC/DC? So I won't try. Listen close, and hold on. I will say that I was forced to buy this collection by my subconscious. I looked at the page and thought I saw $14.99. My subconscious said, "hey, it's a collection and it's just $14.99. Get it." Click.... Ahhhh! Sub conscious says, "oh, that's ok, everything is great anyway, and you should have it all." Me, "should? Really? Alright, whatever.

- Rock

The band from my childhood never died

- Great, if you don't have it all ready.

This is an excellent collection, if you don't already own these CDs. I have been a huge AC/DC fan for a long time, so I own all these CDs and have ripped them on to iTunes already. It would be hard for me to justify buying this due to that fact. I am glad that AC/DC has come to iTunes and hope this helps build a new fan base.

- Let there be rock

I may not sleep for days! get the iPhone 5, plug in the new ear-buds, crank the volume, you'll be amazed. Make no mistake, ACDC defines a genre in and of themselves. Apple continues to completely pull away from the pack by not only offering this, but kicking up the mastering quality a notch and sharing at a crazy fair price.

- What Took So Long!!

Merry Xmas to me!!!!

- Ac/dc

Wow timeless stuff

- Thank you!!!!!!

I never thought this day would come! I'm so excited!!!!! I can now finally complete my music collection and really introduce my 3 yr old son to the classics. AC/DC, you made my year!!!!!

- Yesssssssss!!!!

Unbelievable, so glad I could get the only collection! Especially like the backtracks! Best band ever!

- AC/DC Is Finally Here On iTunes!!!....Yeay!

Well I got to say they finally made it here on iTunes........Took long enough.

- AC/DC - rock and roll ain't noise pollution.

Glad to see this finally happen. But you guys do understand it's not been iTunes' fault AC/DC has not been here - that's been the choice of the band. In any case, heck yes...this is great.

- Got Big Balls?

This set is a must buy! It's about time iTunes came to the Biggest Ball of them all. This music comes and comes again!

- Buy it

I would but I already have all albums except Live At River Plate and Backtracks

- iTunes just got a whole lot better.

I've been waiting for the day iTunes added AC/DC!

- Not a fan, but great idea!

This is a great idea! Why doesn't iTunes do this for other great legerndary bands? It'd be awesome to see that for older bands that aren't going to make anymore cds (like Queen for instance).

- AC/DC

I hope AC/DC is reading these. I am a lifelong fan. I have paid to come to a number of your concerts. I have bought your music. And now I will buy your music on iTunes. Thank you for agreeing to make your catalogue available on iTunes. We are all better off for it. And you will be paid. THANK YOU.

- Let there be sound...

And there was sound.

- YES,YES,YES!!!!😃😃😃😃😃

Finally, I was wondering if I had to go by each cd,this Is a happy day woo hoo!!!!!!!?

- Simply the best gift!

Just in time, a good gift for my birthday on November 19. The celebration continues throughout the week, the forces are still there :)

- Genial

uno de los mejores grupos AC/DC!!!!!

- WHAAAAAA!?!?!

YEEEESHHHH!!!!!!!! YESSSSHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

- oh hell yeah

its about time for the group to be on here thanks guys

- Wow

Great to see you come on board boys! For f'**ks sake!

- Highway to HELL !!!!!! Awesome

It's the best collection in rock

- Wow AC/DC

Well, I never thought this would happen, but I guess I should have seen it coming with Black Ice being a Wal-Mart exclusive. Honestly, I can't say I'm happy. I felt something special about them not being on Itunes. They're still awesome though. I already own all of these on CD. But really, Black Ice was the 2nd best selling album of 2008, and it wasn't on Itunes, it was only sold in Wal-Mart, and it WASN'T RELEASED UNTIL HALDWAY THROUGH OCTOBER. Who else could do that?

- Greatest hard rock band of all-time!!!

Waiting 4ever for to be able to download TNT, Highway to Hell, and Back in Black. AC/DC, when your about to rock, we'll salute you

- Yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!

The greatest thing that happened to iTunes since iTunes, now let's wait for Tool...

- thank you

OMG You listen to all of us thanks i-tunes now we can ring hells bell all night long

- FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK......!!!!!

Best band EVAAAAARRRRR.... love them!!! I thank god I was able to see them live.... I can die a happy woman!!! :D So happy iTunes has this now!!!!

- 1 OF THE BEST !

LOVE IT A GREAT WAY TO GET ALL THE SONGS IN 1 PLACE. Only Small Complaint is that some songs appear a few times Even though some are Live BUT THATS IT ITS A TRUE CLASSIC

- Thank goodness

It's about time. Thanks iTunes. Now lets get that boy Kid Rock

- It's about dang time
